Contraindications that don’t prevent the treatment from being performed, but they must be cured before the treatment

Skin that will be pigmented must be completely healthy

Common acne – is a multifactorial disease of the sebaceous system. Unfortunately, we still do not know the cause and mechanism of its development. There are many forms of acne that depend on the skin. When only blackheads appear, we call them a non-inflammatory form of acne. Inflammatory acne manifests itself in the form of papules, pustules, and nodules. With this form of acne vulgaris, especially located near the forehead and directly above the eyebrow, the treatment mustn’t be performed.
Herpes virus – is characterized by red vesicles on the skin or mucosa. Once infected, the virus never disappears from the body. After 3 to 10 days of incubation, small fluid-filled blisters appear on the skin, leaving wounds that later turn to crusts that fall off after a few days. These changes usually appear in the areas where the skin is connected to the mucosa: mouth, nostrils, and the eye area. Before the infection, you may feel general tiredness, burning, and tingling sensation in the area of the skin where blisters will possibly appear. When the client has active herpes on her face, we do not perform treatments until the skin changes disappear.
Flat warts on the forehead and eyebrows – if warts appear on the skin near the eyebrows, the treatment cannot be performed. Otherwise, warts can multiply and spread.
Fungal, bacterial, and viral infections
Lichen (impetigo) – an acute, purulent skin infection. The pathogens of lichen are streptococci and staphylococci. We do not perform the procedure until the symptoms are cured.
Folliculitis – pustules surrounded by a small red spot in the center of the hair’s growth. If the infection penetrates deeper into the hair follicle, it will cause an ulcer or abscess. We do not perform the procedure until the skin changes disappear.
Hair loss (Alopecia) – non-inflammatory hair loss in the form of oval spots. They are also called alopecia areata. It can cause total hair loss on the head, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The cause of this disease is unknown but is often associated with other autoimmune diseases such as vitiligo and thyroid disease. Damaged hair follicles can regenerate themselves and grow back. There is no inflammatory lesion or scars on the head, but the disease produces bald spots with clear edges. These places may be individual, up to several centimeters in size. You should remember that the people who suffer from this disease have very thin skin in the area of the eyebrows. Sometimes excessive bleeding may occur during the Micopigmentation procedure.
Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto – the dye remains on the skin for a shorter time. The makeup may fade faster and be less visible.
Moles – if a mole or birthmark is present in the area of the eyebrows, we must avoid it by approx. 2-3 millimeters.
Fibromas – we need to treat them just like moles. There are no contraindications, but fibromas must be avoided.
Marks around the eyebrows – you should get permission from your dermatologist first. Then, I must avoid the marks during the treatment.
Boils, inflamed pimples, and blackheads around the eyebrows must be completely healed before the treatment.
Bruises, sunburn, abrasions, and scratches.
Stye on the eye.
During the menstrual cycle, the procedure shouldn’t be performed due to high pain sensitivity and increased bleeding that may occur during the procedure. If the procedure is performed at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, it will not affect the final effect of the treatment.
Rosacea is an inflammatory disease that affects adults between 30 and 50 years old. It affects approximately 10% of the general population and is more typical of fair-skinned women. This disease cause dilation of the blood vessels and facial flushing. This is caused by many factors: heat, moving from a warm room to a cold room, standing near the oven while cooking, emotional reaction, excitement, consuming certain drinks, and eating certain foods. If rosacea appears on the face, the Microblading treatment can be performed, but I need to use special products for sensitive skin. In the case of the presence of lumps and pimples around the eyebrows, we do not perform treatment until the skin changes disappear.
Yellow tufts – these are subcutaneous cholesterol deposits, very often caused by hyperlipidemia – increased blood fat levels. These changes very often coexist with diabetes. Before the treatment, you need to consult your doctor and get permission.

These health problems are not a contraindications

Trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) – a mental disorder that involves an irrepressible urge to pull out hair from eyebrows or head.
Vitiligo – is not a contraindication, however, it should be remembered that this disease is often associated with diabetes. Before the treatment, I must be sure that my clients are not diabetic and don’t take insulin
Pigmentation spots – appear in the form of brown or dark yellow spots. They are often located around the forehead, cheeks, and nose. Pigmentation spots can be the signs of skin photoaging, becoming darker when exposed to light.
Scars – are not a contraindication if they are the same color as the surrounding skin. The treatment cannot be done if the scars are still red.
